“We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone.”
Orson Welles

Are we truly alone?

Smh, so dramatic. As long as you live a life where you have interactions with people and cultivate some sort of connection/relationship with those people, which most people do, how can you be alone? How is that an illusion? Did you just imagine the people and the way y'all talk and touch and make each other feel? I hate this quote a lot

We are all living on our own planet each of us, though we arrange for other planets and moons and celestial bodies to be as close as is possible sometimes.

There are few absolutes in life. Some people are, in fact, alone and others are not. Some will die having never known love or family. Others will have loved ones looking on as they draw their last breaths. It's only an illusion if you perceive it that way, which strikes me as needlessly cynical

No, I think we're less alone than we think we are. Communion actually exists. Oneness actually exists. We're all connected all the time. And even when we're physically alone we're probably surrounded by spirits.
